progress over perfection

Older Mask, New Life

I had a mask that I created awhile back that ended in an odd way. As I was creating, I was also trying a bunch of ideas on it. The procedures went along fine and I gained some new insights. The parts however ended up better than the whole. It was painted, sealed and left stored out of the way, not really happy with it. I figured, I could always cannibalize the horns or other various bits in service of something else.

Months floated by an idea of what to do with it came to roost. So back onto the work table. Some power tools and a lick of paint later and Manuela now has a new mask. Paper and acrylic paint.
